Contest Entry: Passing through the wasteland
“Hey, have a listen to this. It’s nothing too mind-blowing, but you’ll never guess where I found it.
See, I was poking around, looking for something to do, and I found this tucked out of sight, scratched into the wall. Yeah, carved. Must have taken ages to do, right? Well, hardly anyone ever looks there, so I dunno how old it is. Yeah, a real mystery.
I dunno about you but I hear a bit of sadness in it. It’s hollow, maybe. Whoever put it there must have been hurting about something, you can hear it. I can totally see it, a guy etching his feelings onto the wall where no one would notice, like some kind of release.
It’s weird though, it just finishes like that, no real ending. There’s was plenty of room left. Maybe something happened to the guy?
Huh. Oh well. Guess we’ll never know.”
